Hi,

Anyone succeed in activating the scan function of the HP Laserjet 28xx,
which is placed in a network ? Printing is working fine.

Thx

No. I tried with HP Officejet 7410 but no success. It seems like HP will
come up with the drivers soon.

Hans,
Saw this a couple of days ago, it may help in the near future for
scanning too, not sure.

Just caught this in a news article, it might be applicable.

"in December, the company plans to release new software drivers for Vista --
namely the HP Universal Print Driver, which eliminates the need to perform
individual driver installations."
Got it from this article:

From what I can see, the URL in your note doesn't contain the the quote you
included.

However, see http://h20338.www2.hp.com/hpsub/cache/343033-0-0-225-121.html
and
http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2006/061130xa.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN;
the later has these two quotes:

"For example, the HP Universal Print Driver, a single, intelligent print
driver that eliminates the need to perform individual driver installations,
can help businesses virtually eliminate the need for testing, qualifying and
distributing hundreds of different printer drivers when they migrate to
Windows Vista.(1) "

(1) HP's Windows Vista enabled Universal Print Driver is expected to be
available in early 2007. Visit www.hp.com/go/windowsvista for the most
recent Windows Vista drivers and downloads. HP Universal Print Driver is
available as a free download from www.hp.com/go/universalprintdriver or
www.hp.com/go/upd."

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

Bruce,
Maybe it got lost in transmission, but that quote was taken from that
url and article;from yahoo news,
but thanks for the further clarification, with your links.
alas, still not there,
got my HP Photosmart 7450 driver in RTM, but waiting on a HP 4070 scanner
myself.
HP sorta quietly snuck in printer drivers to RTM, cuz they weren't there b4,
but to their credit,all along they said no drivers till RTM.
Hopefully the scanner ones come with the universal one, or else by
themselves;soon.
